Public Sector

Wacom signature pads and interactive displays in the public sector are used to complete and sign electronic forms.
Filling out a complaint form, applying for a new passport, driver’s license and other documents often involves signing. The digital application saves scanning, uses up little space and allows documents to be found quickly in the event of subsequent queries. The simplified working process gives staff more time for dealing with citizens and saves money, as paper, printer and ink are no longer required.

Electronic handwritten signatures are also a part of several documents like passports, ID cards or access cards. Wacom signature pads are used to capture handwritten signatures with high resolution and can include biometric profiles embedded in passports and IDs. Thus Wacom signature pads are already in use at registration offices, law enforcement and other authorities.
